Mission & Vision
The Madison Holleran Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization whose primary mission is to prevent suicides and assist those in a crisis situation with resources that will aid them during their time of need. We also focus our efforts on preparing high school seniors and college freshmen, during what can be a very difficult transition period, as it was for Madison, and still is for many college freshmen. Additionally, we provide assistance for “Survivors of Suicide”, the loved ones struggling to deal and cope with these heartbreaking tragedies and the unanswered questions that are commonly left behind. We also advocate for public policies in mental health and suicide prevention, which helped establish The Madison Holleran Suicide Prevention Act in the State of New Jersey in 2016.
We work in collaboration with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, since they have valuable resources available to high schools and colleges, and are the preeminent leader and voice in the area of suicide prevention. We strive to break the silence and stigma that is associated with suicide. By preparing high school seniors for college life, as well as offering assistance to those college freshmen who are in crisis, we believe we can help prevent suicides in our country, and the rest of the world. Students who are in crisis need to be made aware that there are therapists, psychologists, and guidance counselors available and eager to give them the assistance they need.
